Horticulture

The Australian Bureau of Statistics estimated that around
3,500 businesses in Victoria are involved in horticultural activities. Of those
businesses, most are concerned with the production of fruit (particularly
pome fruit, citrus, stone fruit and berries), almonds (and other nuts), grapes
and vegetables.

Victorian horticulture exports were valued at $894
million in 2013-14, an increase of $288 million (48 per cent) from 2012-13.
Hong Kong was Victoria's largest market for horticultural exports, valued at
$141 million.

We are focused on partnering with other service
providers where there is a shared benefit and co-investment.

Our key aim is to contribute to growing food and
fibre production and exports by improving the adaptive capacity of the
industry, helping producers to manage risks and to capitalise on market
opportunities.
